Ed Snowden: Leakers “should be shot in the balls,” and "cut this Social Security bullshit"

180. I'll reply to your point...

> How do you feel about broad NSA electronic surveillance without probable cause?

The same way I feel about having to share extremely sensitive financial details of my life with the IRS.
(Because I want a tax system to fund social services.)

The same way I feel about having a cop surveying thousands of innocent motorists on a freeway to catch drunks.
(Because I don't like drunk drivers.)

The same way I feel about my Social Security number being used across all government agencies.
(Because I'd prefer the government to provide services with the minimum amount of waste.)

The bottom line is this: either you believe in (these highly limited) programs run by U.S. law enforcement to attain certain social benefits (legally, and subject to court oversight), or not.

If not, go live in a nice government-free Libertarian paradise like Somalia. They have no NSA there, although they do have quite a bit of terrorism (which you're clearly not worried about).
